Today’s plein air adventure on Memorial Hill in Midway, Utah: five hours of battling wind, getting rained on, and painting without an umbrella because it would’ve become a hang glider. 🌬️🌧️

Then, just as I was finishing, a huge gust launched my entire setup into the air. It crashed, and the mineral spirits splashed perfectly across my painting, melting away hours of brushwork in seconds.

Some days the landscape paints itself… today it painted back. 😂🎨

Plein air painting at Willard Bay last Friday nearly turned into a rodeo.

My heart skipped a beat more than a few times when a couple of bulls decided they were very interested in what I was doing. One minute I was focused on capturing the evening light, and the next I was wondering if my easel was about to become part of a livestock obstacle course.

This isn’t my first encounter with the hazards of painting on location. Over the years I’ve nearly been run off by livestock, and I’ve even had farmers in Chester Utah try to chase me away with tractors. But being nearly stampeded by bulls is definitely a new development.

People often imagine plein air painting as a peaceful experience surrounded by beautiful scenery. Most days it is. Other days you’re keeping one eye on the painting and one eye on several thousand pounds of curious beef heading your direction.

The painting survived. The painter survived.🤠🎨🐂

Women Holding Things— a very special show at Four Lemons Gallery. March 20th–May 12th. See you at the reception this Friday!

“A Life in Brushstrokes”

Frida Kahlo lived through pain, illness, and heartbreak, yet she turned it all into something honest and fearless. She didn’t hide her life, she painted it, like a diary written in color.

This piece reflects that same idea. When life gets hard, I paint. The brush becomes a way to work through it all, to record both the beauty and the struggle. Nothing held back. Just life, laid down in strokes.

A Life in Brushstrokes, oil on panel, 26 x 35.5

There are places in the West that almost don’t look real.

Dead Horse Point is one of them.

From the rim you look down nearly 2,000 feet as the Colorado River bends through the canyon like a piece of green glass cutting through miles of red stone. The cliffs catch the sun and start glowing with oranges, violets, and deep shadows.

My friend Bob DeWitt commissioned me to paint this view for him, and it was a joy trying to capture that feeling of standing on the edge of that enormous silence.

Utah never runs out of landscapes that make a painter want to pick up the brush again.

Thanks Bob.

Dinner for Three is a self portrait set in Tokyo, where I sit across from the legendary Futakuchi-onna, the woman with a hidden mouth at the back of her head. From the front she appears gentle, composed, almost forgettable. But beneath the surface is a ferocious appetite. This painting explores the tension between civility and hunger, beauty and menace, the visible self and the hidden one. In a city that dazzles and devours, the meal becomes a metaphor for ambition, desire, and the quiet monsters we carry with us.

This piece will be on view in All Shapes and Sizes at JKR Gallery. Opening reception this Friday evening from 6 to 9 PM.

At 14, I found my mother’s old oil paints in our basement and painted the Matterhorn for the first time. Seven years ago, I stood before it with my father. Next month, Erin and I return to Zermatt to face it again, carrying gratitude for both my parents and a lifelong love for the Swiss Alps. If the Alps feel like home to you too, this story is yours. 🇨🇭🏔️

Sunrise on The West Temple 🌄 Looking west as the first light came over my shoulder and set the cliffs on fire. The valley was still cool and quiet, and for a few minutes it felt like I had all of Zion to myself. This is why I get up early and paint.

Standing in front of The West Temple in Zion, I’m reminded why I paint.

The light here never repeats itself. One morning it whispers in cool blues. The next it sets the stone on fire. You can’t control it. You respond to it.

Painting in Zion and Utah’s national parks has shaped me as an artist. These landscapes demand humility, boldness, and attention. They don’t need us. But they invite us.

Grateful to be part of the Sears Invitational and to bring this love of the land into that space.

Tonight’s opening at the Holladay art show was pure joy 🎨✨
So good connecting with friends and family, soaking up that buzzing gallery energy, and seeing my work out in the wild. I was honestly pleasantly surprised that all three paintings I submitted were accepted into the show, and I’m feeling pretty good about how they turned out.

Extra special getting to see Uncle Mike, Aunt Karen, Cousin Lexus, and her husband Jeff. Huge congrats to Jeff for taking third place for his yak photo 🦬👏 Well deserved.

Grateful to live in Utah, where artists truly get the chance to show work in such beautiful, supportive spaces. The show is up for one full week, so make sure you get over and see it in person. It`s at the Holladay City Hall.

I’ve been working on this painting on and off for six months. “Holding Peace” oil on panel.
The mountains have been repainted more times than I’ll admit.
The sky got a couple revisions.
And the face… four, maybe five tries and still asking questions.

Originally, he was holding a spear.
With everything going on lately, that didn’t feel right anymore, so I changed it to a peace pipe.

Maybe it’s wishful thinking.
Maybe it’s stubborn hope.

It’s been accepted into the holiday art show, so here’s hoping this version finally lets me call it finished.

Wish me luck. 🎨🤞

This year we welcomed a new family member with radar-dish ears and a doctorate in stealing hearts 🐶✨
Meet Vinnie, our Frenchie Boston mix and full-time joy distributor.
The plot twist: Erin used to be afraid of dogs. Now she’s deep in first-puppy-love territory. To mark the moment, I did this quick charcoal study in one sitting, capturing her and Vinnie so she could take a piece of her puppy with her to work. He may not be there in person, but his presence (and ears) absolutely are.
And the best part? The entire neighborhood adores him. Random kids knock on the door asking, “Can Vinnie come out to play?” Tiny dog. Big social life.
Watching these two together has been one of the sweetest, funniest surprises of the year. Somehow, Vinnie makes Christmas feel even more like Christmas 🎄🐾

🇹🇼✨ Just got back from an amazing trip to Taiwan — the place I called home for nearly 23 years. What a homecoming!

Even though I didn’t get to see my daughter (she was off on vacation), it was still an incredible time reconnecting with friends, exploring, and eating way too much good food. I gained six pounds — and every bite was worth it! 😄🍜

Highlights included visiting the National Palace Museum, attending Art Taipei 2025, and painting gouache plein air studies around the island. Seeing so many inspiring artists’ works at Art Taipei lit a creative spark that will keep me painting for months.

💛 Special thanks to my amazing friends who made this trip unforgettable:
Herbert and Dave — for lending me their scooter and sharing so many good laughs 🛵
Willy — for letting me stay at his place 🏡
Hana and her wonderful family — for feeding me such a great dinner🍽️
Eric — for that incredible home-cooked meal 👨‍🍳
Cindy — for going to the art fair with me 🎨
Mr. Lin — for running the best restaurant in town 🍜
And E-da — for making the best seafood noodles in the universe! 🌊🍜

Taiwan will always have my heart — the people, the food, the art, and the memories that shaped nearly half my life. ❤️🇹🇼

From Buttons to Blessing

I’m deeply honored that my “Madonna with Child Haloed in Buttons” was accepted into the 39th Annual Spiritual & Religious Art of Utah at the Springville Museum of Art. The opening reception is tonight, Wednesday, Oct 15, 6:30–8:30 PM—I’ll be there and would love to see you! 

Here is a time-lapse video of my latest creation—my first 100% original button painting (not based on a historical work). I’m building it for the upcoming Meetinghouse Mosaic exhibition, “The Mosaic of Christ: Let the Children Come,” showing at Compass Gallery in early 2026. 

Thank you for all the love and support. If you can make it to Springville tonight, come say hi! 🙏🧵🪡

Hey everybody, I need a title for this painting of Mount Olympus—please drop your ideas in the comments!

The thing that intrigued me most about this piece, now on my second night working on it, was the way the golden sunset reflected in the windows across the valley. Tiny squares of light—like little suns clinging to the mountainside.

It’s interesting how in America, people love building their homes *on* the mountains, chasing the view and that evening glow. When I lived in Taiwan, it was the opposite—everyone wanted to be close to the city, and few dared to build in the mountains for fear of landslides.

It’s funny how geography and culture shape where we feel safe, and yet the mountains always seem to call some of us home.

It’s funny how geography and culture shape where we feel safe, and yet the mountains always seem to call some of us home. #MountOlympus #UtahArt #PleinAirPainting #RobertFuerer_Artist #GoldenWindows #SunsetReflections #OilPainting #UtahValley #WesternLight

Hey everybody, I need a title for this painting of Mount Olympus—please drop your ideas in the comments!

The thing that intrigued me most about this piece, now on my second night working on it, was the way the golden sunset reflected in the windows across the valley. Tiny squares of light—like little suns clinging to the mountainside.

Some of you may not know this, but I’m actually a Swiss citizen 🇨🇭 I was born in Zürich, where my father was from, and moved to the U.S. when I was three. Half my family—my aunts and uncles—still live in Switzerland, so whenever I visit it’s something truly special.

In 2017, on one of those visits, I didn’t want to come empty-handed. In one evening, I painted more than a dozen small portraits of Jesus Christ to give as gifts. 🙏✨ I just found some time-lapse videos of those paintings, and it’s amazing to relive that moment.

Painting Him is never easy, but always rewarding. I strive to show Christ as He may have truly appeared—olive skin, curly brown hair, and deep brown eyes. He walked this Earth, and I know He will walk it again.

I’m grateful to share His presence through art. ❤️ Exciting news: my button piece Madonna with Child Halo in Buttons was just accepted into the Springville Art Museum’s Spiritual & Religious Art of Utah show! Can’t wait to share photos soon.

Third day painting this amazing barn. I wonder what it looked like in its glory days—now it stands like a skeleton, and I’m drawn to the negative space. Watch to the end to see where I`m painting. I use this set up to get a better vantage points on some locations.

The awards party is Friday, and Saturday is the live auction. Would love to see you—please come down to Spring City and say hi!

✨ Step by Step, Button by Button
A solo exhibition by Robert Fuerer

Step by Step, Button by Button is a deeply personal exhibition that weaves together two intertwined journeys: one of artistic devotion and one of personal discovery. On one hand, portraits and icons emerge from antique buttons — each piece carrying history, memory, and meaning. On the other, paintings of my late father and the mountains he loved trace my ongoing search to reach him across time and memory.

Though told in different mediums, both stories move in rhythm with each other. Each button placed, each brushstroke made, becomes part of a larger meditation on family, memory, loss, and the creative act itself.

Come see how memory and discovery come together — step by step, button by button.

📍 Sandy City Hall – Top Floor Gallery
🗓️ July 25 – September 19, Weekdays 9 AM – 5 PM

Utah Landscape Paintings, Button Mosaics, and Fine Art by Robert Fuerer

Robert Fuerer is a Utah-based artist known for original oil paintings, plein air landscapes, narrative artwork, and award-winning button mosaics. Drawing inspiration from the Wasatch Mountains, Utah’s desert landscapes, art history, faith, family, and personal memory, his work combines traditional craftsmanship with inventive mixed-media storytelling.

Working primarily in oils, Robert creates both studio paintings and plein air works painted on location throughout Utah. From the rugged peaks of Mount Olympus and the alpine beauty of Big Cottonwood Canyon to the red rock deserts of Southern Utah, his paintings capture the changing light, atmosphere, and character of the American West.

Robert is also known for his distinctive button paintings and button mosaics, including large-scale recreations and reinterpretations of iconic women from art history. Built from thousands of layered buttons, these works combine color, texture, pattern, and optical mixing to create images that feel both familiar and completely new. His button artwork offers collectors a unique alternative to traditional painting while still reflecting his lifelong interest in composition, storytelling, and fine art history.

In addition to landscape and button artwork, Robert creates narrative paintings exploring faith, family, heritage, and the human experience. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and juried exhibitions throughout the United States and has received numerous awards in regional and national competitions.

Collectors seeking original Utah artwork, custom landscape paintings, button mosaic art, or commissioned fine art can work directly with Robert to create one-of-a-kind pieces for homes, offices, and private collections. Whether commemorating a meaningful location, family property, mountain retreat, favorite outdoor destination, or a custom mixed-media concept, each commission is designed to become a lasting heirloom.

Based in Utah and inspired by the beauty of the Wasatch Front, Robert continues to create paintings and button mosaics that celebrate the landscapes, stories, and people that make his work unique.
